Allyssa: No need to be sorry for being late on these type things, it is the world's 24 time zones that are to blame. You being a day ahead of everybody, but 42 and I think Cirdan, most things today are over before you get up to find out tomorrow. Even I only get a couple hours to write about these things today.

If anyone can make sense out of what I was trying to say above, good for you. Now how about letting the rest of us know?

Like if I were to have said," Its my birthday today." (which it isn't) the only people who would not be late in saying "Happy Birthday!" live in the Western Hemisphere, because its already tomorrow in England and all countries to the east. In fact, tomorrow is half over in New Zealand as I write this. That's what I was trying to say above.

Thanks for everything you've done for us all Taz. Like Allyssa said on another thread, you've created a virtual Rivendell for us all here, and I for one, appreciate all the time and expense you have put into this site over the years. Have a virtual beer on me, mate. You're a star

Thank you all for your lovely comments, I hadn't even noticed them till Allyssa pointed them out to me the other day in the chat room.

It's very nice to read such positive remarks about the website, and of course all the praise for myself. Obviously I assume you do all realise that without you A) those comments wouldn't even have been posted and B) obviously the site would just be an ordinary resource on Tolkien.

Being but recentlyawakened to this site let me direct my thanks to Taz for such an interesting site. I have particularly enjoyed perusing the forums and find the comments from all involved most illuminating. One day I'll get around to a thorough look through everything else.

Oops, late again. Happy birthday Eryan (I believe that was a few months ago) - your posts have always been very informative, open & full of heart, and I've always enjoyed reading them.

Tazzy, Happy Birthday, mate. Sorry I'm late, but thanks for putting the best, funniest, coziest & warmest site on the net - my home away from home. If anyone deserves a special day, it surely has to be you.

Well considering I did not join the wonderful world of Planet-Tolkien until August, it looks like I missed a whole truck load of birthdays. So, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to everyone on PT Happy Birthday to you.

Hey chikakat your b-day is 2 days before mine. next year we celebrate together.

Taz, this is a great site. I have really enjoyed it. Thank you for making it so terrific.
